My Ex-Ex

André Bharti previously co-wrote Fondi ’91, an exploitative coming-of-ager that used a disturbing rape scene as a life milestone to be learned from. In My Ex-Ex – a rom-com that Bharti wrote, produced and stars in – an extremely drunk female played by Emily Alatalo (frequently characterized in the movie as a slut) enjoys double penetration from two men… when she’s not throwing up on them.

Unlike Fondi ’91, which pretended to be having a serious conversation about consensual sex, the latter scene is played strictly for yuks. The gags in My Ex-Ex, directed by Nathaniel Warsh, are all about pushing the envelope because, really, this impotent low-rent comedy, which reaches for Apatow but falls well below Sandler, has nothing else to offer.

The romance between Bharti’s overgrown slacker, Patrick, and Katherine Barrell’s lovelorn lawyer, Mary, a college couple reunited, is practically non-existent. The two share limited screen time and their attraction is entirely predicated on a night of drunken buffoonery at a frat party where someone is taken advantage of upstairs.
